Abstract

Currently, 80% of conventional energy is used to meet the needs of industry and the general public. Using new, renewable energy from the sun is an effort to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gases (GHG). Al-Jihad Boarding School, an Islamic educational institution with around 1,200 students, is one of the biggest consumers of conventional energy. This study aims to plan photovoltaic solar cells, calculate the amount of power that can be generated, calculate the amount of GHG emission reduction from photovoltaic solar cells and the costs required for installation at Al-Jihad Islamic Boarding School. The planning results were analyzed by adjusting the selection of a 12 KVA inverter, 44 polycrystalline photovoltaic solar cells, and other complementary materials such as cables, MCBs and supports. The amount of power generated from photovoltaic solar cells at the Al-Jihad Islamic Boarding School in Surabaya is 12 kWh. Climate change mitigation efforts by reducing GHG emissions through solar cell photovoltaic planning at the Al-Jihad Islamic Boarding School in Surabaya can reduce CO2 greenhouse gases by 1,200.5 kg, NH4 30.013 kg, and N2O 0.019 kg. The cost required for the installation of photovoltaic solar cells is Rp. 209,850,400.

Abstract

Hylopoly-bag is a bioplastic bag from red dragon fruit (H. polyrhizus) skin waste. This research aims to discuss 2 things, namely the quality of hylopoly-bags and the realization of hylopoly-bags in supporting Golden Indonesia 2045. Experimental research uses descriptive quantitative methods. The independent variable is a ratio of dragon fruit peel extract and polyvinyl acetate of 2:1, 4:1, and 6:1, with the final quality of hylopoly-bag as the dependent variable. The analysis technique includes 6 methods: hylopoly-bag chemical content test, functional groups, permeability, elasticity, biodegradation rate, and SWOT. The results of the hylopoly-bag cellulose content were 6.32% and the functional groups consisted of C, H, and N. The analysis concluded that after the 28th day, the hylopoly bag had degraded the most, reaching 92 and 8% of the total initial weight of 7 grams. Hylopoly-bag has a water absorption capacity of up to 17% for 10 minutes and the average elasticity of hylopoly-bag is 4.65 x 104 N/m2. Hylopoly-bag can support Golden Indonesia 2045, especially the sub-pillars of scientific contribution and commitment to the environment.

Abstract

Introduction: The presence of microplastics in the environment increases the diversity of types of pollutants in waters, including clean water sources on the surface and underground. Karst areas have unique hydrological characteristics, with cracks and fissures between the rocks that can be potential routes for the transport and accumulation of microplastics in underground river flows. In this study, we want to know the distribution and abundance of microplastics in underground rivers in the karst area of South Malang, Indonesia. Methods: Samples were collected purposively from underground river of Lowo, Banyu and Sengik. Microplastics were prepared using a diluted solvent of 30% H2SO4 and 30% H2O2. The sediment sample was dried and then filtered twice using 300-mesh size nylon filters until microplastic particles accumulated. Results and Discussion: Microplastics were detected in all water samples, with an average abundance ranging from 1.8 to 2.3 particles per liter. Fibers were the dominant microplastic type, followed by fragments and films, while the color distribution includes blue, white, red, yellow, black, green, pink, and brown. Conclusion: Microplastic contamination has been found in underground river flows in the karst area of South Malang, Indonesia. Karst soil, traditionally viewed as a natural filter, is not impervious to plastic pollution. This suggests significantly higher surface contamination than previously assumed. Therefore, reducing surface pollution is essential to safeguard the precious quality of underground aquifers and protect public health above.
